Intel has learned from its short-handedness in the smartphone market, where it lost out due both to its late entry and to a misalignment its advanced technology and the initial nascent iterations of smartphone technology. In contrast, Intel is determined to be one of the early entrants in Internet-of-Things (IoT). Wearable devices are a subset of IoT, and Intel has been aggressively investing to gain a wide footprint in the space. And it has a range of devices with which to address the market. The company currently derives less than 5% of its revenue from IoT, and we expect the proportion to increase to roughly 10% by 2020. You can see this in the following analysis.

According to our estimates, Intel's IoT business will more than double as the Wearable Electronic Devices market grows at an annual rate in excess of 15%. Please the tables above for more details.
